"Bring Your Bread Crumbs, or your GPS"
Okay, fair warning. This is not a typical review of a shopping mall. There are some stores, a great movie theater, and a Coldstone Creamery (always a plus). But I feel ever-so-compelled to review this place because I had one of the worst parking mishaps of my life here.
If you come for a movie, especially later in the evening, be prepared to REMEMBER WHERE YOU PARKED YOUR CAR. There are at least four parking garages, all free, that all look exactly the same, and if you can't remember which one you parked in, the mall doors lock automatically at night so it is impossible to get back in and retrace your footsteps.
This exact situation happened to me, and I managed to walk around outside the mall and eventually find my lot after about 3-4 tries, but it definitely felt a little sketchy walking there all alone on a Sunday night at around 11 PM. All-in-all, it took about a half hour and at least one illegal walk in a cars-only lane to find my vehicle.
Maybe I'm an idiot. But maybe there are things that the mall can do to improve the overall navigation of the venue, too.
